What You NEED to Know About
Constipation After Surgery

Constipation after surgery is very common.

If you're suffering from it, don't worry, it usually passes pretty quickly.

The best way to get rid of it is to make sure you only eat healthy, natural foods, such as organic meats, fruits, vegetables, and berries.

It can be easy to indulge in "bad" foods after your surgery, but try not to.

Now, there are many other reasons why you can get constipated after surgery, such as medication.

With that said, let's take a look at the possible causes.

Why it Happens

1. Medication
   Pain medication can often cause constipation and after a big surgery you almost have to take something that relieves the pain.
   
   
2. Anesthesia
   Depending on the kind of surgery you just had, anesthesia can paralyze your digestive tract, making it harder for your body to eliminate fecal matter.
   
   
3. Diet Changes
   Before and after surgery your doctor may have recommended that you minimize food intake, and hospital food isn't known for being the healthiest. This can lead to constipation since there is nothing pushing out old waste. It usually passes once you get home and start eating a healthy diet.
   
   
4. Stress
   We both know the amount of stress surgery can cause and this in turn can impact not only your mental health but also your digestive tract and its function.
   

Minimize Constipation After Surgery

There are a few things you can do to minimize problems after your operation, but most of the time there aren't many factors you can change.

For example, taking pain medication after your operation is almost a must, so is having anesthesia during surgery, you wouldn't want to skip that, would you? ;)

Here are things you can do:

1. Get Moving
   Try to start light exercise as soon as possible after your surgery. Consult with your doctor before doing anything, I do not know what kind of surgery you've had.
   
   
2. Painkillers
   Again, consult with your doctor before doing anything, but if you do not need the painkillers anymore, don't take them!
   
   
3. Diet
   Eating healthy foods is as important as ever after surgery. You will improve recovery time and you'll experience less constipation.

Make sure you take care of your constipation. If you let it drag on it can develop into impaction, which happens when your fecal matter becomes so hard and dry that you cannot get it out.

It is usually taken care of by enemas, your doctor and if those do not help then surgery becomes an option.

Eliminate Constipation Naturally

One of the best ways to eliminate constipation and keep your body healthy is to do a colon cleanse.

Colon cleanses can be done by just eating a strict healthy diet, or going on a juice fast.

You can also buy a professionally made herbal colon cleanse, which has been formulated to effectively eliminate constipation, toxins, and alleviate a host of other problems.

I've done a lot of research on the best colon cleansers out there. There are a lot of bad products available. The one I recommend right now is the DrFloras colon cleanse.

They even offer a long money-back guarantee in case it doesn't work for you.

I'm very careful with what I recommend. I've done a lot of research into colon cleansers, and I only recommend the ones that use 100% natural ingredients, are safe, and effective, which is why I think you will really like DrFloras.
